We loved the area where the hotel was located. There is a small square/circle, called the Marché De l’Agora Bruxelles in front of the hotel where there are stalls during the day with artists selling their wares and as the name says plenty of places to eat. At times we saw a few live musicians also.

The Grand Place and Maison du Roi (Broodhuis – Museum of Brussels city) were just 5 minutes from the hotel. The hotel’s location was perfect and had the best vibe!

Checking-in at the Hotel Ibis Brussels Off-Grand Place

Several other people checked-in at the same time of us. The hotel seemed popular. The staff at reception was however so friendly and helpful; one quickly forgot how long you had to wait to check-in.

What does this remind you off?

Our room at the Hotel Ibis Brussels off-Grand Place

Our room was on the 4th floor of the hotel. Lucky there was lifts and not only stairs. The room was small but clean and comfortable. There were a small desk and cupboard. The windows were small and could open for fresh air. The air conditioning worked well.

The bathroom had a bath tub with a shower inside. The hotel provided bottled soap in the bathroom at both the basin and in the shower.

Unfortunately, there was no kettle in the room, but luckily the hotel had a bar on the ground floor. Food and beers could be ordered from there and taken up to the room, which was quite convenient.

Breakfast at the Hotel ibis Brussels off-Grand Place

Our room rate did not include breakfast, but it was available at Euro 15. It was a buffet breakfast and include a variety of bread, juices, cheeses, sausages, eggs, etc. We thought the breakfast was quite pricey but decided to have it anyway since our time was limited and we did not know what time we will be able to eat again.

The hotel offers luggage storage, but you pay for the use of the lockers based on the duration of use and the size of your luggage. I thought this was convenient (except for having to pay) as it was much safer than just leaving it in a rack or room somewhere with little control by hotel staff.

Wifi was free and fast. A computer with internet access was situated in the hotel’s foyer.

The hotel staff provided suggestions for restaurants and attractions to visit. We found them very professional and helpful.

Overall, we loved this hotel – it was modern and trendy and the location was perfect! The price was really good as well.
